Profile: Brock Holt makes contact at a high rate, but there just isn’t any room for him on Boston’s roster. Holt may be worth keeping an eye on if Dustin Pedrioa or Will Middlebrooks succumbs to injury, though. (Zach Sanders)

Profile: STEVE HOL-- wait, sorry. BROCK HOLT. A part of Boston's middle-infield depth at Triple-A, Holt certainly likes to put the ball in play. His career 4.6% swinging strike rate and 95% zone contact rate show that he does not like swinging through pitches thrown his direction. Unfortunately for him, he has mediocre line drive rates (17%) and has virtually no power (career .048 isolated slugging percentage), which offsets some of those contact skills. Stuck behind guys like Dustin Pedroia, Will Middlebrooks, and Xander Bogaerts at the big league level, Holt figures to ride the Triple-A shuttle again in 2014. Even when he does play, it's tough to expect more than .270/.320/.360ish triple slash out of him, meaning he's probably only going to ever see a fantasy roster in super-deep AL-only leagues. (Colin Zarzycki)

The Quick Opinion: While Holt rarely swings and misses, he doesn't do much when he puts the ball in play. Stuck behind a plethora of second and third base types on Boston's depth chart, and he figures to spend most of 2014 either in the minors or the far end the Red Sox bench.

Profile: Very few players fit the definition of "lightning in a bottle" as well as Brock Holt did in 2014. Boston's jack-of-all-trades utility man, acquired in the ill-fated Joel Hanrahan trade a couple years ago, rode a nearly .400 first half batting average on balls in play to a .327/.371/.463 triple slash and an everyday gig. In the second half of the season, the walls came tumbling down as Holt's luck cratered and he posted a less appetizing line that was 47% worse than league average. It wasn't all a mirage, Holt's full season isolated slugging and line drive rates both jumped in 2014, so while he was still luckier than the average bear, he proved to square up the ball significantly more effectively than his previous two major league seasons. Further helping matters was that Holt continued to post swinging strike rates that were better than league-average, showing that when he swings, he rarely swings through. While his season came to an end on a sour note thanks to a concussion, he should be ready to go in 2015. Holt's biggest problem is that the he has nowhere to play, with talent and contracts already locking down Boston's infield and outfield. He may prove to be a reliable plug-and-play piece in real life but is not worth drafting in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. (Colin Zarzycki)

The Quick Opinion: Boston's swiss army knife utility man was otherworldly in the first half, but saw his fortunes swiftly change after the all-star break. While he did make nice strides in the power department, Boston's free agent spending spree during the offseason leaves him without a defined role headed into spring training. That means you probably shouldn't be too concerned with adding him to your fantasy squad.

Profile: The proverbial Swiss Army Knife, Holt can and has played every position but pitcher and catcher. He's even reasonably decent at most of them. Holt has a throwback skill set at the plate with high contact and ground ball rates. He doesn't hit for any power, but he can spray singles with regularity. His above average batted ball rates are supported by his batted ball profile, ensuring a solid average. He's a plus base runner and will even steal the occasional base. Every team wishes they had an average player to slot into any position of need. The Red Sox do. (Brad Johnson)

The Quick Opinion: Ben Zobrist's name is analogous with multi-position flexibility. Holt is poised to take that mantle. He can play almost anywhere. And he does.

Profile: Brock Holt is a solid bench player. That he managed to become an All-Star in 2015 will forever be a testament to the train wreck that was Boston's 2015 season. Things weren't much better in 2014, when Holt first broke through with the Red Sox. With players dropping left and right, it was Holt who stepped in and buoyed the team. But such a role on a long-term basis was never his destiny, and last season he settled into a more natural role as a utility player. He started the majority of the time in left field (55 games), but he also logged starts at third, second, short and in right field. In 2017, it's likely that the left field portion of the resume will be wiped clean. With Andrew Benintendi now with the big team, and Chris Young still needing a place to play, Holt will likely shift back to infield-only duty. He'll see his most playing time at the hot corner, where it seems likely that he'll platoon with Pablo Sandoval. Should Sandoval regain his form following his shoulder injury the way Hanley Ramirez did last year, Holt may not play much at all. Sandoval, after all, has been a switch-hitter for the majority of his career. But the more likely outcome is that the Red Sox will find a way to get Holt 50 or more starts at third, and a dozen or so at other positions. You probably don't need to target him on draft day, but if he finds a good pocket of playing time and manages to get hot, feel free to ride that wave.

The Quick Opinion: Brock Holt is unlikely to ever again be a full-time starter for the Boston Red Sox, but if things again go awry with Pablo Sandoval, it could once again be Holt to the rescue.
